Hi,
It's still Tuesday in my timezone, so here's this week's thread. Noticed something neat or cool that someone did? Or is someone just being awesome in general? Say thanks!
* Thanks to Krinkle and Krenair for cleaning up user JavaScript across Wikimedia wikis. * Thanks to MusikAnimal for figuring out why signatures are typed using four tiles (~~~~)[1]. * Thanks to Jjanes for helping to maintain Postgres support in MediaWiki . * And thanks to Quiddity for always staying positive. :-)

That information about the genesis of the code for signatures is very interesting. I've included it as a historical footnote on the relevant enwiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ASignatures&type=revision&diff=879833503&oldid=876066084, and others might want to add it elsewhere. These historical tidbits, especially one that shows such a lovely human side to the practice of coding and software development, can become even more meaningful over time. Thanks, Magnus - and thanks MusikAnimal for asking the question.
